About Ben Palkowski

I am an attorney and co-founder of the Old Colony Law firm, a business that provides trust and estate planning legal services.

A majority of Americans do not have an estate plan — not even a simple Will. If you do not have an estate plan, you leave it to the state to decide how your assets are distributed upon your death.

Unlike “general practice” attorneys who do not specifically focus on trusts and estates, I do not conflate Medicaid planning with estate planning.

True estate planning should focus on ensuring individuals’ wishes are given the full force of law; protecting children’s inheritances from being grabbed by divorcing spouses; minimizing death taxes; preventing court intervention and other government intrusions; and making the transfer of assets as simple as possible.
